Hello all! I was banded earlier this week ( September 7th ) and that night was the absolute worst night. I had severe gas in my abdomen....and could not burp nor pass gas. I was up from about 10:30pm to 3:00 am (with my husband ready to take me to the ER), however, I manage to find comfort in sitting upright in an office chair.....finally drifting to sleep. About 3 hours later, when I had awaken.....the bloating was gone! Thank Goodness!... I eventually begin to pass the gas, however, I notice while breathing in......there tend to be some discomfort.......Has anyone else had this problem?I am beyond paranoid! Thanks.
